Ex-Jaguars WR Jimmy Smith began serving a six-year prison sentence on March 29.

Smith, 44, was sentenced to four years for cocaine possession and two more for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. It's not a surprise to see Smith in trouble with the law. Smith has been battling drug problems since he left the league, and it's even believed that he surprisingly retired in May 2006 due to a looming suspension for a failed drug test. The Jaguars great caught 862 passes for 12,287 yards and 67 touchdowns across 11 seasons in Jacksonville. Although Smith was one of the most underrated receivers of all time, his credentials fall just short of Hall-of-Fame caliber and his post-career escapades aren't helping him.

Former Jaguars WR Jimmy Smith said he is embarrassed by his recent arrest for drug possession, and he will fight to overcome his addiction.

"I am ashamed and humiliated by my actions and I apologize for the embarrassment I have caused my family, friends and everyone in the Jacksonville community who have supported me throughout my career," Smith said. He is now free on $11,500 bond. Fri, Apr 24, 2009 04:04:00 PM

Coach Gus Bradley said Ivory will be a game-time decision this week, but he should get the green light as long as he can avoid setbacks. Ivory has only topped 50 rushing yards once this year and won't be more than a back-end RB3 in a tough matchup against the Vikings.

Hurns hasn't played or practiced since injuring his hamstring in Week 12. All signs point to him missing another game. Even when healthy, Hurns has been a non-factor this year. His absence will open up more targets for Allen Robinson and Marqise Lee.

A fifth-round pick last year, Greene caught 19 passes as a rookie, but he played an even more limited role this year with Marqise Lee grabbing hold of the No. 3 job. He will be back to compete for targets next season. WR Shane Wynn was added off the practice squad in a corresponding move.

The Florida Times-Union suggests Jacksonville could bring back contract year LG Luke Joeckel.

The Jaguars are expected to move on from Joeckel, but his season-ending knee injury is going to limit his 2017 market. Joeckel played only 155 snaps at guard and never graded above league average his three years at tackle. There should still be interest in Joeckel given his draft status, but he could have to settle for prove-it offers. Re-signing with Jacksonville could be his best option.

He got hurt on Wednesday. The Jaguars will also be without LT Kelvin Beachum (concussion). Jacksonville's offensive line completely failed to open run-game holes in the first two weeks when their line was at full strength, so we wouldn't expect any improvement from the decimated group Sunday against the Ravens.

The Bears claimed Omameh off waivers from Tampa Bay after final cuts last year and he went on to start nine games, struggling mightily for the second straight season. The 26-year-old will fight for a backup job in Jacksonville.
